Eh? Just long sleves and pants? That wont do.
"What. Have you never been homeless before? Those are way too clean, and wheres the undershirt? He is supposed to be sleeping in those, so he has layers even if they arent complete, and it isnt salt-stained at the lower back either. There should be sweat marks here and-"
Correct the supposed slumwear to make it accurate. Remember that it's my background, I actually DO know what its supposed to look and smell like so I can enable him to blend in properly.
I'll take that Toxic, and cast a d6 Endurance spell to make myself permanently immune to corrosive gas. Repeat as many times as needed to get a success.
Name: Zavirius En-Drani Haver, Painter
Appearance: A girl of unknown but apparently foreign descent. She claims to be the last surviving member of a long-dead ancient race, kept preserved in some kind of magical stasis, but this is likely untrue. Though her skin is a strange shade not normally seen on the continent, and her hair is bleached white with a slight green reflective tint. She is not very tall but stout like a dwarf and startlingly strong.

[8+1 v1]You draw your sword and use the bouncing to drive it in with not only your full strength but the motion of the beast. Again it cries out with that low rumbling roar and suddenly thrusts itself forward, going from a run into a glide. Its great wings flap once and it lifts off, rising into the air in an increasingly steep climb. Wind roars past in a battering gale and you cling to the sword's handle as the creature goes nearly vertical, ascending hundreds of feet above the sands.
[1v6]
As the ray begins to level out a bit you try to regain your footing and stand up, but as you rise the ray flaps and your knees buckle beneath the sudden rise. You lose your grip on the sword and go skidding off, towards the Ray's side. The rope around your waist catches you before you can go all the way off, but you find yourself with your legs dangling over empty space while you clutch frantically at the creature's smooth and rubbery flesh.
Oh, this won't do. Sheathe the knife so I don't accidentally anything with it, then go sell my clippings at an apocathery. After this, go look about town for a curse-breaker, or rumors thereof.

29 gold
You sheathe the knife (which looks quite odd considering how you are holding the knife), and then head back. You sell the clippings for 15 gold (keeping careful track of which sell for the most. The man you're selling to doesn't seem to recognize most of the plants though) and then ask around for someone to break a curse. Apparently there are a fair share of cursed items in the excavation so there are actually several curse breaking "shops" around. The only issue with them is that they seem quite expensive: apparently their services are usually used by big companies so they've inflated their price to match the pockets of those companies instead of the individual. You pay a total of 4 gold to have the thing appraised at a variety of places and the "Cure" most offer is to remove the hand holding it. To break the curse itself without harming you is gonna require either a large amount of mana or over 100 gold.
Ok then, since you didn’t mention anyone actually needing any rezzing services (despite the battle casualties there seemed to be), I guess that means we can move on. How much gold for a couple weeks’ supplies? Also, do we still have that sedated bugman?

Couple weeks? Lets assume about 1 gold for every 2 days. So like 7 gold for 14 days. Expand as you like.
We'll assume you still have him. And have been sedating him repeatedly as needed. He'd be pretty docile now regardless.
Concerning the black biometal, how much mana does it take to make it transform? Also, how much thaum would that 100lbs convert into if Darwin were to do his thing with it?

Depends on how big of a transformation it is. If you had it in like a wolf form and then transformed it into like a saber tooth tiger, that would be quite cheap since they're really quite similar. Maybe a mana or two. but if you were doing complete transformations from like wolf to 50 spiders, that would get more expensive.
Over 100 likely. Maybe more in the 150, 200 range. Its pretty rare.

Ok first, one action per turn please. I see like 3 bolded actions this turn.
Second, that biometal isn't being offered to you. Its being offered to Pancaek and Radio. You threw your lot in with Dev and Sy who already had set rewards.
We'll assume the mana gets transferred.
Instead of doing one ring per spell, do one d10 spell to enchant several rings at once. Do 3 sets. Use Strengthen Speed for one set, and just Strengthen for the other two stats that will sell for the best. Ask for the same rewards, some precious gems and small ingots of precious metals. Retry failures.
Do tell them that I'd be willing to do a personalized item, but I'm leaving town soon. If a good offer comes in, (hundreds of gold range, or an Invoker word) I'll take it.

Mental stats are possible, but harder or more complicated.
[2+2 v 4] -4
[1+2 v 8] -8
You get the speed rings done but the next set of rings literally melt into some sort of ruined slag as you attempt to enchant them. You try again but the lost resources are coming out of your payment.
[2+2 v 9] -9
Another set of rings melts and the seller starts getting nervous.
[5+2 v 6] -6
[7+2 v 1] -1
A set of strength rings comes out ok, and the last set of Endurance rings comes out better than expected. The seller is still somewhat apprehensive but seems pleased overall. He gives you a small bag of cut precious gems and a small box of precious metal ingots.
